Southern Part of The Town of Mifflin . . . ." During the summer and fall of 1842, the first schoolhouse was erected in the southwest corner of the town in Section 18. It can only be antedated (sic) this would connect to a school we are aware was located in the area of Wildcat Road. There is little known about the history of the Wildcat School. H. L. Liscom was the first teacher, being paid by subscription or pro rata. The school was attended by about twenty scholars, many of whom were obliged to walk five and six miles to attend. The following year, 1843-1844, Mr. Liscom taught the first school in the village of Dallas. Miss Sarah Jacobs taught here also. She later became Mrs. H. L. Liscom."
